US EditionDetroit Tigers Sign Reliever Who Spent This Spring with Blue Jays
Seabold joins Detroit on a one-year, $800,000 contract as Brieske moves to 60-day injured list with a left adductor strain, creating bullpen depth before Opening Day.
- On Monday, March 23, the Detroit Tigers signed right-handed reliever Connor Seabold to a one-year, $800,000 contract, adding him to the 40-man roster three days before Thursday's Opening Day against the San Diego Padres.
- A left adductor strain forced the Tigers to place right-handed reliever Beau Brieske on the 60-day injured list, creating the roster spot necessary for Seabold's addition.
- After his release from the Toronto Blue Jays, Seabold brings an elite 46.4% whiff rate to Detroit with a fastball averaging 94.1 mph and no remaining minor-league options.
- Five major league organizations have employed the 30-year-old pitcher, including the Boston Red Sox, Colorado Rockies, Tampa Bay Rays, and Atlanta Braves, plus a 2024 stint with the Samsung Lions.
- With the 40-man roster currently at 40 players, Seabold must remain on the 26-man roster to avoid waiver exposure, securing his bullpen spot heading into the season.
